Цифровые валюты центральных банков (CBDC) — это цифровые формы национальных валют, выпускаемые центральными банками. В отличие от криптовалют, CBDC не являются децентрализованными, а контролируются государством. В настоящее время многие страны мира изучают возможность выпуска собственных цифровых валют центральных банков, и эта тема вызывает широкие дискуссии о её влиянии на экономику и общество.
* Improved payment efficiency: CBDCs can be processed faster and cheaper than traditional payment systems.
* Financial inclusion: CBDC can provide access to financial services for the unbanked population.
* Increased transparency: Central bank digital currencies can be easily traced, which will help in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing.
* Stimulate innovation: Such currencies can stimulate the development of new payment technologies and financial services.
*Privacy: CBDC may pose a threat to user privacy since all transactions can be monitored by the central bank.
* Cybersecurity: These assets are vulnerable to cyber attacks, which can lead to loss of funds or disruption to payment systems.
* Monopolization: A CBDC could lead to a central bank monopoly in the financial system, which could limit competition.
* Instability: Central bank digital currencies can be subject to inflation or deflation, just like other currencies.
Some countries have already launched pilot projects to implement CBDC, and some are under development. For example, China launched the digital yuan, and the Bahamas launched the Sand Dollar. Russia is developing a digital ruble.
CBDC is a promising technology that has the potential to transform payment systems and the financial market. However, before implementing a CBDC, it is necessary to carefully study its impact on the economy and society, and develop appropriate measures to minimize risks and challenges.
